An Act Authorizing the Town of Winchendon to Continue the Employment of Allen J. Lafrennie as Fire Chief.

Whereas, The deferred operation for this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is forthwith in the best interest of the Town of Winchendon to continue the employment of Allen J. Lafrennie as fire chief, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, Allen J. Lafrennie, chief of the fire department of the town of Winchendon, may continue in such position until and including June 30, 2012; provided, however, that said Allen J. Lafrennie is mentally and physically capable of performing the duties of such position. If requested said Allen J. Lafrennie shall, at his own expense, be examined by an impartial physician designated by said town to determine such capacity. No further deductions shall be made from the regular compensation of said employee under the provisions of Chapter 32 of the General Laws for service subsequent to February 28, 2010 and upon retirement said employee shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to that which he would have been entitled had he retired on said date.
